About this Property

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 3 Bathrooms
  • Private vacation home

Stroll to Shoals is ideally located near the beach but tucked away in the forest at Sumner's Crescent in Cape Fear Station near the Conservancy, Captain Charlie’s, and the Shoals. Appreciate listening to the ocean waves and taking calming strolls to East Beach for sunrise and South Beach for sunset.

Located among 300-year-old striking live oak trees, the home sits off the street and is very private yet close to the main community and park. Upon arrival, cross an inviting bridge-like boardwalk with a huge deck area to access this home. Then settle in to relax on one of numerous decks or the screened porch and take in the natural beauty of the island.

An open living space, kitchen, dining area and half bath are located upstairs with lofted ceilings and broad window vistas of the treetops. Savor coffee, beverages or a good book on the upstairs deck while watching birds and listening to the sounds of the ocean.

A reverse floor plan with bedrooms on the first floor of the main home includes a primary bedroom suite with queen bed and full bath. The kid-friendly guest room offers two twin beds, a daybed with trundle and full bathroom with bathtub. Both bedrooms open onto a enormous screened porch and private outdoor seating area.

Adjacent to the main home is a comfortable crofter with a queen bed, full bath, mini-refrigerator, coffee or tea station, and a balcony located in the trees.

The home has two 4-passenger golf carts. An outdoor shower and gas grille are located off of the huge deck area between the main home and the crofter.

Temporary memberships for guests of this property are available for additional costs at Bald Head Island Club (with golf option) and/or Shoals Club. Both clubs require advance registration forms and costs for temporary membership. Inquire at time of booking for details about the club options, amenities, etc.

Two outdoor video cameras monitor the exterior of the home. Footage remains private and in no way infringes upon the expectation of privacy in these public areas.

A $300 non-returnable pet fee is required if a dog is included Quotes from some of our guests:

"What a marvelous beach home! Our family appreciated the secluded spot tucked into the trees yet so close to the Shoals Club and Mike’s Bites.

We look forward to returning in the future!" The M family April 2022

How to book the best Southport rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

  • Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and reduced traffic.
  • The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
  • Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
  • Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
  • Look for your local Southport visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to select the best vacation home in Bald Head Island:

  • Start by having your group decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
  • Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Quiet, Wooded Sanctuary - Near Sunrise and Sunset Beaches - Dog Friendly has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Southport rentals search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
  • Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
  • Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
  • Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your contract.

More considerations:

  • Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
  • Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
  • Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of concerns.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
  • Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect your property!
  • Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
  • After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.
